TONY Mowbray conceded he was ‘wrestling’ to pick a fit team for tomorrow’s FA Cup replay after losing two more players.

Borja Valero and Robert Koren both suffered injuries in Saturday’s 2-2 draw at Hull and are expected to miss the trip to Burnley.

Koren soldiered on with a calf problem, while Borja suffered a suspected hamstring strain.

Mowbray, whose side will take on either Cardiff or Arsenal if they beat Burnley, said: “Valero came off with a bit of a hamstring tweak. Robert Koren has got a calf problem.

“Our two centre-halves are also way short of being 100 per cent fit.

“We’ve got to patch the team up and keep sending them out there because the games keep coming. We’ve got another one at Burnley.

“Saturday is such a huge game against Newcastle as well, so that’s my dilemma.

“I will wrestle with things because I want to get into the next round of the Cup, although we’re potentially away at the Emirates next so I am not seeing that as a nice easy passage into the quarter-finals.

“I’ve got to mull over in my mind how we’re going to go against Burnley.

“I don’t want to risk any of our players, so if Valero has a tight hamstring I would suggest he won’t play to give him a chance for next Saturday.

“That’s not belittling the FA Cup in any way, it’s just me doing the right thing for my club.”

Mowbray is hoping Borja’s injury will be deemed less serious after a scan.

He admitted it was harming Albion’s prospects.

“He will have a scan and we’ll wait and see,” added Mowbray. “Hopefully it’s not too bad and just cramp.”

He continued: “If we had our first 11 out every week I’m pretty confident we would make a very good fist of staying in this league.

“But that won’t be the case for us and probably not for any other team in the Premier League either. Hopefully over the next two or three weeks we will get stronger, with one or two people coming back.”
